This is a rewrite of the class found at  as I found it lacking in some asspects and over reaching in otheres.

It accesses the IMAP server using a TCP socket without using the PHP IMAP extension.

It provides functions for:

- Authenticating (Plain, SASL-IR or Login)
- Get server capabilities
- Listing, search for, creating, renaming and deleting mailboxes
- Manage mailbox subscriptions
- Getting mailbox status
- Uploading mails to a mailbox
- Search for mails
- Managing mail flags
- Copying messages
- Retrieving mail
- Delete mail

The class still acts in a command respond fashion instead of per line evaluation, witch is a violation of the IMAP specefication. Currently it is lacking processessing for fetch responces
